These 3 premium e-book readers are unique Kindle alternatives

If you’re just getting into the e-readers, look no further than Amazon’s $100 Kindle or $140 Kindle Paperwhite—both are excellent e-book readers with a lot to offer.

However, if you’re looking for something a little extra from your e-book reader, there’s a decent and growing selection of non-Kindle, non-Amazon devices that offer features and performance the Kindle family can’t match.

Behind an innovative new blood testing technology that, unlike Theranos, is real

The Theranos debacle cast a shadow over emerging blood testing technologies once it became clear the startup’s marquee platform device, which claimed the ability to conduct complex blood analysis with just a few drops of patients’ blood, was a sham and led to the eventual imprisonment of founder Elizabeth Homes in an 11-year jail sentence. But Becton Dickinson and Co. (BD), a long-standing global diagnostics and medical supply giant whose 75-year pedigree includes developing at-

Most workers fit into one of these 8 motivation styles

Avoiding demotivation is one thing. But individual life is more glorious, and organizations are more successful, when we work enthusiastically, even passionately, and not just because it pays the bills. Let’s look at some of the situations in which a person finds the motivation to go above and beyond. Notice how we placed the onus of motivation on the person, not on their manager. Motivation comes from within; managers cannot create it. But we can try to understand our employees&#x2019

I experimented with gen AI to boost my creativity for a year. This is what I learned

In the fast-paced world of marketing, I’ve always approached creativity as an organization’s bread and butter, with innovation as the knife that spreads it. As the VP of marketing at Hootsuite, I’ve found an unexpected ally in this creative quest—artificial intelligence and, more specifically, ChatGPT.

Lyft introduces a minimum pay standard for its drivers

Lyft is issuing a minimum pay standard nationally for its rideshare drivers, in what it calls a first-of-its-kind effort to make industry payments more equitable.

Lyft will guarantee that drivers will earn 70% or more of rider payments each week, after external fees, starting Tuesday in most major cities and nationally in the spring. If Lyft has taken out more than that 30% rate by the end of the week, it will pay drivers the difference.

Tech layoffs 2024: Snap to lay off 10% of employees

(Reuters) – Snap said on Monday it would cut around 528 employees, or 10% of its global workforce, a sign that the spate of layoffs seen in 2023 could persist as firms grapple with economic uncertainty.

How gamification is changing fitness

It’s a new year. People are making efforts to get off the couch and get fit. But if tradition holds true, these efforts will quickly fall by the wayside. The American fitness industry contributes at least $35 billion annually to the economy. Yet adherence rates are not changing: 40% to 65% of gym-goers drop out in the first 5 to 8 months after beginning, and this rate has been stable at least for the last 20 years.
